1930Best.-Nr. 5585Tokyo: Yuyudo C1930. A beautiful woodblock print reproducing one of Hiroshige's famous illustrations from the collection "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." This print shows Komagata-do Temple and Azuma Bridge. Originally published by Uoei 1857 this reproduction is by Yuyudo. Although undated it is likely from the 1930's. Although a reproduction it is a genuine woodblock copy not a modern digital or lithographic print. In excellent clean condition it is loosely tipped into a card folder / passe partout but can be removed for framing. Komagata-do Temple is located in the triangular plot of land near Komagata Bridge in Kaminarimon 2-chome Taito Ward. Originally it was a storehouse-style temple located on the riverbank in Komagata 1-chome enshrining a Bato Kannon Horse-Headed Kannon. Edoites pronounce Komagata-do Temple as "Komando." The illustration perhaps inspired by the famous poem by the geisha Takao "You are now near Komagata singing the cuckoo" depicts a cuckoo flying in the sky. The print of the rainy May sky is magnificent showcasing the skill of the printer. The picture shows Azuma Bridge from the roof of Komagata-do Temple depicting houses on the Honjo riverbank on the other side. The white wall belongs to the lower residence of Hosokawa Notonokami. A red flag is visible in the foreground. This is the signboard flag of a general store called "Hyakusuke" located across the street from Komagata-do which sold rouge and face powder. It was designed to be visible from a distance featuring the rouge they sold. It was a very eye-catching signboard at the time. 34cm x 23cm. Passe partout is 49cm x 34cm. . Une magnifique estampe sur bois reproduisant l'une des célèbres illustrations d'Hiroshige issues de la collection « Cent vues célèbres d'Edo ». Cette estampe représente le temple Komagata-do et le pont Azuma. Publiée à l'origine par Uoei en 1857 cette reproduction est l'œuvre de Yuyudo. Bien qu'elle ne porte pas de date elle date probablement des années 1930. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une reproduction il s'agit d'une véritable copie sur bois et non d'une impression numérique ou lithographique moderne. En excellent état elle est simplement collée dans un passe-partout mais peut être retirée pour être encadrée. Le temple Komagata-do est situé sur un terrain triangulaire près du pont Komagata dans le quartier de Kaminarimon 2-chome arrondissement de Taito. À l'origine il s'agissait d'un temple de style entrepôt situé sur les berges de la rivière à Komagata 1-chome abritant un Bato Kannon Kannon à tête de cheval. Les habitants d'Edo prononcent le nom du temple Komagata-do « Komando ». L'illustration peut-être inspirée du célèbre poème de la geisha Takao « Tu es maintenant près de Komagata chantant le coucou » représente un coucou volant dans le ciel. La reproduction du ciel pluvieux de mai est magnifique et met en valeur le talent de l'imprimeur. L'image montre le pont Azuma depuis le toit du temple Komagata-do représentant les maisons sur la rive de la rivière Honjo de l'autre côté. Le mur blanc appartient à la résidence inférieure de Hosokawa Notonokami. Un drapeau rouge est visible au premier plan. Il s'agit du drapeau-enseigne d'un magasin général appelé « Hyakusuke » situé en face du Komagata-do qui vendait du rouge à lèvres et de la poudre pour le visage. Il était conçu pour être visible de loin mettant en avant le rouge à lèvres qu'ils vendaient. C'était une enseigne très accrocheuse à l'époque. 34 cm x 23 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 49 cm x 34 cm.

1930Best.-Nr. 1417073Japan c.1930s. Hardcover. Disbound Plates fifty-three plates. In Poor condition. Accordion binding with two green cloth boards. Front board has a paper label with black ink titling; has heavy shelfwear and sunning to edges cloth in corner creased and peeling away from board dampstaining to bottom left corner and heavy scuffing throughout; rear board has heavy shelfwear and sunning to edges peeling to cloth at corners scattered holes in cloth and heavy scuffing throughout. Interior has heavy toning to edges of cardstock backing for prints and tearing and separation to edges of cardstock throughout. Prints have light to moderate scuffing but are in good condition. Plates have been numbered in pencil but the numbering starts with the preface plate rather than the station plates. Inside of rear cover has a gift inscription: "To/Mr & Mrs J.E. Knippe/November 18th 1938./From Setsuko Sasaki". Missing colophon and five plates: #1 Nihonbashi 日本橋; #28 Fukuroi 袋井; #47 Kameyama 亀山; #53 Kusatsu è‰æ´¥; #56 KyÅto: The Imperial Palace 京　内è£. Text in Japanese. Shelved in Room A octavo overflow. This 20th-century homage to one of feudal Japan's greatest artistic journeys is an example of the type of facsimile set made for tourists art lovers or collectors that became popular at the time. Though time has softened the outer cover and separated its pages the prints inside retain their vivid inkwork carrying viewers past the iconic pine-lined road of Yoshiwara where Mount Fuji famously appears on the traveler's left. It stands as a remarkable bridge between eras where ShÅwa-period master craftsmen faithfully preserved Hiroshige's immortal vision of Edo-period travel for a whole new generation of art lovers. In his lifetime Hiroshige created up to twenty different editions of his popular Fifty-three Stations of TÅkaidÅ changing each location's art every time. This album's contents are facsimiles of the second version which he made six years after the first Great TÅkaidÅ and are nicknamed the KyÅka TÅkaidÅ for his inclusion of comical poetry kyÅka on each print. 1417073.
